Chapter 698: The Second Holy City
"Huh? Yes! Are you a paladin? Murong Feng was stunned and said, "Then how can you say that you are also a member of the Holy See?" ”
Fenna Golden Sword sighed, "Actually, I am a wild paladin at best, and I am not registered with the Holy See. ”
"Why?" Murong Feng asked in surprise, "Can you become a paladin without being trained by the Holy See?" ”
"Because I don't have faith......," Fenna Golden Sword said helplessly, "Actually, I am an unbeliever, so I can't be promoted from a paladin to a seventh-order Templar Knight." You can only be a paladin for the rest of your life. So my deputy is going to be a swordsman or a warrior. ”
"Can you use Holy Light spells without believing in the Light?" Murong Feng was shocked again.
Fenna Golden Sword rolled her eyes again and said, "You're still the Pope, don't you even know anything common-sense?" There are only two kinds of people in the world who can use the Light, one is the one who believes in the Light, and the other is like me, who do not need to believe in the Light, because the Light is our gift. So people like us are born priests, and if I succeed in transitioning to a swordsman or a warrior, then I will be able to use the Holy Sword Qi or the Holy Fighting Qi. ”
"Sounds so complicated!" Murong Feng chuckled and said, "If you really want to change jobs, I suggest you become a swordsman, because I can mention you in swordsmanship." ”
"Aren't you a Silver Moon Ranger in your job?" Fenna Golden Sword was speechless, "Don't tell me that this Silver Moon Ranger is also a cameo from you. ”
"Hehe, I'm really guessed by you." Murong Feng smiled: "That's right, in fact, my real profession is a swordsman!" Everything else is my cameo disguise. ”
Fenna Jin Jian could only roll her eyes speechlessly, and said in her heart, you are at least a hundred times more complicated than me, okay?
"How? Really don't think about it? Murong Feng saw that Fenna Jin Jian was distracted for a long time and didn't answer her, so he couldn't help but ask again.
"Ah, what?" Fenna Golden Sword came back to her senses and said, "What did you just say? ”
Murong Feng said speechlessly, "I'm asking if you plan to become a swordsman?" ”
Fenna Jin Jian thought for a moment and said, "I can't be sure about this yet, after all, the second class is different from the first class, and it needs more feelings than talent. If you don't have this feeling, you will only fail if you force yourself to take office, and even if you succeed, you won't reach the top, so it's better not to change your job. ”
"Well, whatever you want. When you feel it, you can come to me. Murong Feng shrugged. Then he casually placed her next to Xiao Hei and let her lean on Xiao Hei. Looking up at Onexia, he shouted, "It's all right, let's go." ”
Onexia immediately took off with a flap of her wings and flew quickly to the south.
And at this moment, in the horned demon's lair, a four-cornered horned demon was immediately furious after learning that three spaceships had been damaged outside, and the treasure that had just arrived was also snatched away. Immediately ordered all the soldiers and horses, and in one breath, all the more than a dozen flesh and blood ships that had been accumulated with great difficulty poured out.
As a result, as soon as the army of the Horned Demon Fleet drove out of the door, they were blocked at the door of the house by a group of menacing mountain giants!
Then a shocking battle broke out directly between the two sides!
The whole war lasted seven days and seven nights, and the land within a radius of thousands of miles was shattered.
In the end, it was the Earth Mother of Stone Therazane who personally intervened and activated the domain-level forbidden spell and 100-fold gravity field!
The flesh and blood spaceship that originally occupied the advantage of the sky suddenly fell straight down like a dumpling, and then was smashed by the mountain giants who swarmed up.
When the leader of the four-horned demon saw the leader of the other party appear, he immediately gathered his clan to join forces and launched a spiritual attack on Serazane.
As a result, Sera Zane, as the Mother of Earth Stone and one of the four ancient elemental leaders, didn't listen to the spiritual attacks of these horned demons at all, and directly rushed up and slapped the horned demon leader away.
Immediately, the Horned Demon Legion collapsed in morale and fled in all directions. The mountain giants took advantage of the situation to chase and kill all the way, and directly expanded their territory to the entire eastern area of the Hengduan Mountain Range, which can be said to be in the limelight for a while.
The badly injured Horned Demon Leader led a group of remnants of the defeated army to flee westward, only to encounter another vanguard of the Demon King's army.
As a result, the two centaurs fought inexplicably, but they didn't want the big demon king who saw the head and tail of the dragon suddenly appeared, but as soon as the tiger body exuded the aura of a king, the horned demons worshipped.
At this time, the army of mountain giants arrived, and the Earth Stone Mother strongly demanded that the Great Demon King hand over all the horned demons, but the old lady who owed her mouth was directly slapped and flew into the endless sea......
Naturally, the leaderless mountain giants fled and hid back in the mountains.
At this point, the power of the Demon King Legion has been soaring all the way to the east, directly expanding to the east coast!
The southern nations were all shocked when they heard the news, because once the Demon King Legion gained a foothold on the eastern coast, it would be possible to build a large transport fleet on the spot to directly bypass the moat of the Hengduan Mountains and attack their rear from the sea.
For a time, the situation on the eastern continent changed. No one knows where the next battle will go!
At this time, players from all walks of life from the Elven Continent arrived at this strange continent after going through countless hardships.
And the successive arrival of players has undoubtedly brought unpredictable trends to the battle situation on this continent.
***
Blackstone Mountain.
It has been two days since Onexia brought Murong Feng and a few people here.
The Black Dragon brothers and sisters finally reconciled under the mediation of Murong Feng.
Murong Feng wanted to wait for this matter to continue south to the Sorrowful Swamp, but Onexia naturally wanted to go with him. Originally, Nefarian was ready to let go, but he didn't want to suddenly receive an urgent order from the Black Dragon King, ordering him to lead the Black Dragon Legion to the abyss as soon as possible.
And as soon as the Black Dragon Prince led the army away, there was no doubt that the Black Stone Mountain would fall into a state of emptiness. As the black dragon princess, Onexia is naturally duty-bound to stay and guard the Black Rock Mountain.
Murong Feng had no choice but to take Lilith, Xiao Hei and Fenna Golden Sword, as well as the Archbishop of Tamad, who was about to die, to say goodbye to the tearful Onexia for a while, and continue to go south.
Along the way, all they saw was a northward army urgently mobilized by various countries with strong troops.
Standing on the edge of a large river, Murong Feng saw countless ships heading north along the rushing river.
"Sister Moon Shadow, look, there's a line of big letters written on that ironclad ship!" Lilith suddenly stepped on her feet in surprise.
Murong Feng turned his head to take a closer look, only to see a line of very eye-catching slogans written on the hull of this battleship packed with soldiers in red paint: Women and children to the south, men to the north!
"No matter where you are, there is never a shortage of hot-blooded good men." Murong Feng shook his head and sighed lightly.
"Your Majesty." Archbishop Tamad stepped forward and bowed and said, "After the ferry in front of you, you will be the City of Divine Grace." ”
"Are all the people you said are there?" Murong Feng asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Archbishop Tamad respectfully said, "Archbishop Lines and the priesthood, as well as several grand knights, are there to await you. ”
Murong Feng nodded, knowing that Tamad had already prepared the coronation ceremony for her, just waiting for her to come back from the north. And the place of the coronation ceremony is in the big city called Glucken in front of it.
This great city is very important because it is located at the junction of three rivers, with the Kingdom of Emlin to the northwest and the Shire Plain to the northeast, almost guarding the northward shipping routes of the southern countries.
It is also said that the first pope who founded the Holy See, the one known as the Son of Light, was born here. Therefore, the city is also named after the first Pope, Grukern I. At the same time, the city is also the second holy city of the Holy See, also known as the City of Divine Charism.
As for the First Holy City...... It's already a fate with the magic kingdom of Dalaran.
The group walked along the river bank to a busy ferry crossing across the Ayutthaya River, which has also developed into a bustling town across the river from the City of Divine Grace.
Now this ferry town has also become a transit point between the north and the south, and you can see various national legions stationed outside the town. The town was crowded with the sick and old who were ready to take a ferry to the other side of the river.
When Murong Feng and his party walked through the crowded streets to the dock, they saw that the port here was crowded with ships from all over the country. The docks were crowded with countless merchants and aristocratic servants wielding large sums of money.
"Archbishop, where is our ferry?" Murong Feng turned around and asked.
Tamad stepped on his feet and glanced at the various sails, frowned, and said, "It's strange, didn't you say that you would come here to pick up people?" Your Majesty, there are a lot of people here, let's find a place to settle down first, and let our subordinates send someone to investigate. ”
"Okay." Murong Feng agreed.
Tamad immediately turned around and ordered one of his men to inquire about the situation, while he himself took Murong Feng and a few people into a nearby restaurant.
After entering this restaurant, it is like entering another world, separated by a wall, the outside is chaotic, but the inside is singing and dancing.
The restaurant reverberated with the elegant sound of the piano was filled with well-dressed nobles, and the fragrant aroma of exquisite food formed a dazzling contrast with the bran cake in the hands of the homeless outside.
Murong Feng was deeply touched by this, but he had no intention of changing anything. Because the world is inherently unfair, if there is no class gap, there will naturally be no upward driving force. If everyone wears the same clothes, eats the same food, and has all equal rights, then who would be a merchant? To be a nobleman? To be an emperor?
"How many distinguished guests did you come from?" A waiter stepped forward with a smile on his face and said politely: "In addition, this store is only open to nobles with knighthoods. ”
Tamad lifted his cloak expressionlessly, revealing the archbishop's robe inside.
The waiter was suddenly startled, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "A few distinguished guests, please upstairs!" Upstairs, there are private seats and private rooms, and there will be special personnel to provide real-time shipping information. ”
The aristocratic lords sitting on the first floor couldn't help but feel a little curious when they saw that the waiter was so respectful to these mysterious people who had wrapped themselves tightly. They all turned their heads to look at a few people, but it was a pity that these people were wearing black hooded cloaks, and even their faces were hidden in the shadow of the hoods. Only the big black dog looked very eye-catching......
It wasn't until a few people went up to the second floor that the aristocratic lords sitting on the first floor began to talk to each other about the identities of these mysterious people.
Murong Feng and the others went up to the empty second floor, and then they picked a private seat by the window, sitting by the window, they could look at the entire busy river and the bustling city on the other side of the river.
Tamad ordered some food and sent the waiter away, then turned to Murong Feng, who was looking out the window, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, do you have any other requirements for the coronation ceremony?" ”
Murong Feng quietly looked out the window and said lightly: "There are two requirements, one is to try to be as simple as possible, after all, it is an extraordinary period, so all red tape is saved and energy is saved." The second is that there is no need to hype up, after all, I still have to go to the Elven Continent after the coronation ceremony, and I don't know how long it will take to come back. Therefore, I have no time to take over and deal with everything in the Holy See, so when the time comes, I will appoint you as the acting pope to handle everything for me. ”
When Tamad heard that such a good thing had fallen on his head, he was naturally overjoyed, but on the surface, he still made a look of sincere fear, bowed down and said, "My subordinates are afraid, I am afraid that they will not be able to take on such a heavy task." ”
Murong Feng turned his head, and Gu Jingwubo's eyes seemed to see through people's hearts.
"There's no need to be hypocritical in front of me. If you help me ascend to the papal throne, I will not treat you badly. Do a good job, maybe in the future I will be tired of being this pope, so I will nominate you to be this pope. ”
Tamad fell to his knees with a thud, completely frightened. The previous bit of complacency is completely gone.
After all, the Holy See is different from a state, and everyone has the opportunity to be armed to the top. Because here, seniority, prestige, strength, and so on are all ranked after the charism, and only the true divine favor can succeed the pope. So no matter how good you are and how fanatical you are about the Light, if you are not a god, then I'm sorry, the House of Elders is the best place to be. As for the papal throne, you don't even think about it.
"My subordinates don't dare to be delusional, and I ask Your Majesty not to make such jokes again." Tamad said in a sweat.
"Let's get up first." Murong Feng said lightly: "What I just say, whether you can sit in that position depends on your own efforts." If you don't even dare to ask for it, then it's useless for me to support you. ”
Tamad was so moved for a while that he kowtowed to Murong Feng again and again to thank Dade. After all, it would be a lie to be able to climb to his position and say that he didn't have that ambition. It's just that the chances are so slim that he hasn't thought about it before. And Murong Feng's words undoubtedly planted a seed called ambition in his heart, and he was waiting for it to sprout and grow into a towering tree in the future.
"Moon...... Sister Artoria, what seems to be going on on the docks over there? Lilith pointed out the window in surprise.
Murong Feng looked back and saw that the two big boats on the river were crowded together, and the two groups of crew members on the deck were scolding each other, and then directly evolved into a full martial arts.
A nearby municipal clipper that was maintaining order in the river immediately sped over to mediate and clear the blocked channel.
This kind of thing is actually quite common, and almost every few hours there are several small frictions caused by ships rushing to the road. Therefore, the bystanders who are passing by in the vicinity are no longer strange, and they are all doing their own things.
"Huh?" Lilith suddenly let out another soft sigh and said in surprise: "Someone is casting a large-scale mental interference spell!" ”
Murong Feng sniffed, and immediately stared at him, "It's a shadow spell!! (To be continued.) )
